A good introduction. The structure was mostly clear, but I wish there were a few more real-world examples. Still, learned a lot.

Hmm, I'm not sure this is for absolute beginners. It assumes a bit of prior knowledge that wasn't explicitly taught. Some examples were confusing.

It's a decent introduction. Could benefit from more diverse examples and a slightly better flow between modules.
